At school, Charles took part in the Race to Read program. For each four hours of reading the kids did they earned a prize. Some of the prizes included bookmarks, free kids meals at Casa Bonita, free tickets to Lakeside. If the students completed twelve hours of reading they got a free admission to Fire and Thunder races at Bandimere Speedway for them and one adult. Two weeks ago, Gabe and Charles were able to go to the races. Neither of them had ever been to a race so it was a big deal. It was also a big deal because it was just Charles and dad.
Charles with his ear protection!
A couple of the cars.
More cars.
The cool part was all the smoke.
When the boys got home from the race, Charles and Gabe were both wound up tighter than anything. They talked and talked and talked about everything at the races. Charles says he hopes the school does the reading program again next year. Even though he didn't say anything, I think Gabe hopes the same thin. So glad they had a great time!
